Important information about the IRA "Homes" Program
*Participation in the homes program starts with registering on the Focus on Energy website. Once approved, they will issue a code for your project.
**An initial energy audit needs to be completed. Once the project is completed, another audit showing "projected energy savings" must be conducted.
***Only improvements made based on the initial energy audit count toward the incentives available and your home's final projected energy savings.
****Once everything with your renovation project is 100% completed, your project must achieve at least 20% energy savings to qualify for rebates from the program.
*****Significant improvements will be needed to achieve a 20% projected energy savings; therefore, to increase the probability of receiving incentives, we recommend that only large-scale projects participate in the program.
